if people dont read all the warnings that are displayed during the setup, why would they read the pop up? it would be EXACTLY the same.
And over 2 million people download Messenger Plus! every month (just check msgplus.net) so i think you are over exagerating with "no one trusts Plus! anymore"
Umm. no, there is absolutly no way of knowing how many people download and install plus!. Ok lets say Clicks on the download button. No, I myself have downloaded and install plus on numerous systems, I'm only one person.
and, I myself have re-installed plus on my machines too, along with upgrades and such. Ok now lets say Unique IP adresses. Did you know all of AOL has the same IP? And did you know my ISP changes every clients IP every 3 or so days? And did you know my ISP is the most popular ISP in my area. What else you got?
No, the last time I checked when my Grandma, whos not so technologically advanced, (she just got a computer for email a year ago) sees "Warning your computer could have viruses" and "Shoot the monkey to win a trip" she knows not to click OK.
The point is people really read pop-ups, they want to know if somethings really wrong.
Not to insult Patchou. Infact Patchou is very cool for making qulaity ad-ons. But maybe in order to earn income he could actually work for Microsoft and MSN Messenger.
Heck, why not start making things official. After all 3rd party is never "officially" supported.
They should together work on MSNM as one big happy family.
I'm telling you the numbers are dropping, you can choose not to listen.
